That's how MMO's work. You're paying for the account. The box, manual, cds, maps all come packaged free with that account. You can download everything for free and play the game just fine without the disks. I never even took mine out of the box.

Trust us, contact the seller and get your money back. However, if you bought this off ebay you should also re-read the auction terms. Some sellers explicitedly say you are bidding on the cd's only and not an account. If however they implied that you'd be able to play the game with what you purchased, then they owe you a refund.

Thanks a lot guys, really nice people on this board. I'm new to this whole thing, and everytime I've been to a new board there are usually some pretty big douche bags. I just saw the whole package for $40 so I'll be picking that up soon.

Once you get the game be sure to run it once with the download command, will take several hours. This will let you get the entire game, all images and updates in one single download.

I have to echo this sentiment. I usually lurk, but I like to give credit where it is due. There are many fine posters around here.
